Fingerstyle Guitar
Fingerstyle guitar is the technique of playing the guitar by plucking
the strings directly with the fingertips, finger-nails, or picks attached
to fingers, as opposed to flatpicking (picking individual notes with
a single plectrum called a flatpick) or strumming all the strings of
the instrument in chords.
The term is often used synonymously with fingerpicking. Music arranged
for fingerstyle playing can include chords, arpeggios and other elements
such as artificial harmonics, hammering on and pulling off with the fretting
hand, using the body of the guitar percussively, and many other techniques.
Physically, “Fingerstyle” refers to using each of the right
(or left) hand fingers independently in order to play the multiple parts
of a musical arrangement that would normally be played by several band
members. Bass, harmonic accompaniment, melody, and percussion can all
be played simultaneously when playing Fingerstyle.
